It's so wonderful to be nicey nicey about your opponent but I cringe every time this Democrat hears one of my candidates like Joe Biden say: John McCain is my friend! We all know they are a part of major club, called the US Senate and boy the decorum there is like no other body in the world.
Why that might be great for the US Senate, forget it when the gloves come off in any political race. I can speak to a lower escelon race as three times the Bear stood as a candidate for Democratic Committeeman of Gravois Township. I am happy to report that I was successful in every race and after 12 years of politicing for various Demos, retired from the field undefeated. Now even for these lowly offices, you were subjected to a variety of browbeating from my opponent's followers. Whereas I ran as a Democrat running against other Democrats in my race, it was quite funny when at the Webster Groves Community's July 4th parade, while waving to the crowd on the street, several Repub folks held up the almighty finger to show their disdain for any Demo! My favorite comment came from a Republican State Senator in Mo, A.Clifford Jones: When asked in my Government class: "How do you feel about mud-slinging in politics, had this to say: "When the son-of-a-bitch thats my opponent slings mud, I'm slinging it back!"
Now for all you holier than thou politicos that feel the two sides in this year's Presidential race are getting rowdy, I say: Bullshit! If you know anything about the political scenes of year's past, going back to the earliest of battles, e.g. The Washington-Adams-Hamilton-Jefferson days, each side had their own newspapers which had no mercy on their opponents. The Andrew Jackson era which gave us the very first Democrat in the White House was as brutal as any we can recollect and Andy was given to fighting a dual now and then.
Now I find Repubs or independents leading towards the elephant party, all want to claim to be above the battle but in reality they are about the worst, take for instance Karl Rove, a slovenly,
crude, icey, punk, who called the present candidate for the White House every name in the game when he ran against the no-show National Guard pilot, I mean AWOL puke, who has given us eight years of the worst government in our history. Yes, the nasty clean shaven white Republicans were more naucious in 2000 than their Demo counterparts when fighting with one another. Shameful!
Now lets talk facts: First of all, Bush stole the election. We'll give him that since we have been guilty of that from time to time. Then he gave us 8 years of lazy, lacadaisical effort, got us into a ridiculous war, supported by the man who wants to keep this occupation going! I am a veteran so don't wave the flag around me. I served in the area now governed by "the squeeky pig with lipstick" a major fraud, who if she ever allows herself to be interviewed by the press will be shown to have supported the "bridge to nowhere" and bilked her own constituents out of big bucks collecting her per diem on travel to a house she didn't live in! This "my friends" is what I call "cheating." She's part of the group of Repubs up there who would have made Lou Brock seem sincere while he pilfered third base. McCain, when he wasn't collecting rich wives, was all too busy taking his slices of cake under the table and was barely punished by the Ethics Committee in the Senate for conduct unbecoming a US Senator.
I don't ever recollect WWII military being given medals for being imprisoned but I'll give him a pass on that one. At least he showed up unlike the mealey mouthed phony from Texas who not only didn't show for his Alabama national guard meetings, but didn't show on issues like the middle east where he chose to sit this one out when the Palistinians and Israelis were begging for US intervention, where he chose to delay, (not Tom Delay) when thousands were suffering from the ravages of Katrina. He also, with the blessing of our dear friend "old Mac", tried to privatize social security, one of the greatest legislative efforts in American History (mid thirties under FDR), and vetoed an important bill to help our vets only this year because he felt there were too many boondoggles in the bill. Say, I ask, has Iraq been a super boondoggles with all these businesses donning military gear and fighting over there for three times what we pay our troops.
Yes, and the Senator from Arizona wants to keep them there "100 Years" if necessary. Pardon me mister but didn't I see you walking over there with more protection on your body than "Transformer!" "Oh things are just peachy kean!"
McCain is another of these doubting Thomas's when it comes to the environment. He has never been known to favor legislation which would take out after the polluters. In fact he never saw a corporation he didn't embrace.
Well, guess what Lehman Brothers is all but going down on Wall Street, another company which
bought the Republican laissez-faire form of economics which made Herbert Hoover and his boys so famous over the years. More is to come but don't worry Bush, you'll probably be down there in Texas cutting down trees while our Democrats will be doing what they did in the 1930's, fight our way out of the Depression with programs to put people back to work, you Repubs know, those Socialistic kind of programs like the Post Office, Social Security, Medicare, Aid to Education, CCC, AAA, all those Eugene Debs type ideas passed during the New Deal.
Lets compare Presidents over the past 150 years. Here is the Republican lineup: Fighting for the worst President of all times but losing to the present occupant: Warren G. Harding 1920-24.
"Silent Cal" Coolidge, his quiet leadership led us into the Depression! 1924-1928. William McKinley 1896-2002) His political machine might have been the dirtiest of all time and his boys apologized for selecting Teddy Roosevelt as his running mate! Thank God, one Repub we can respect. Oh, of course Tricky Dickey Nixon, who I personally didn't think was too bad, was run out of Washington and oh yes, a guy some people seem to like who gave us a deficit which has hurt us to this day. Bonzo Reagan! Bush Sr I would rate ok and he must be shamed shamed shamed by his son's lack of interest in governing and major indecent and wrongful decisions on foreign policy.
Then you have the Demos and I'llbe quick since their record speaks for itself. Bill Clinton, two terms and just a great and smart President, who did make some personal decisions that we could question and paid for it. Jimmy Carter brought us peace in the Middle East, at least for awhile,
but he might have been the weakest of our recent Presidents Democratically. Lyndon Johnson was a powerful leader, who gave us the "Great Society" and made civil rights a reality, rather than a talking point. Medicare--Great! So many sensational programs. Then there was the only four time elected President FDR. We can only say: THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Woodrow Wilson took us thru WWI! FDR took us thru WW2.
Enough Bear: How any independent, how any laborer or middle class individual could even think about giving Repubs another 4 years to destroy our country, infrstructure, foreign policy,
energy and economy boggles my mind. I probably didn't really say what I think: THE BUSHIES SHOULD BE INDICTED AND SENT AWAY AND MAY EVEN HAVE TO FACE THE INTERNATIONAL COURT AT THE HAGUE FOR THEIR INVASION AND OCCUPATION OF IRAQ! One of the biggest jokes was Bush's comment about bringing a divided country together. He not only made this government the bain of every joke but ordered his Attorney Generals to
violate the law time and time again in their relations with the United States Congress. This Repub run bunch of outlaws ignored the US Constitution time and time again! Of course they were aided six of those eight years by a shoddy Republican Congress.
The Bear wants Barak Hussein Obama to fight with every weapon in his arsenal to counter the dirty, ugly, false, profain, TV ads, E Mails, he will encounter. One last item: This guy Obama is just as much a hero when it comes to his attitude about war and the military as would be hero McCain! The Bear served his two years and he's patriotic too. So are his counterparts who served in Korea, Afganistan, Iraq, Europe, the Pacific and at home. This is not true of Bush. The worst criminal act is to take a country falsely into war, knowing young men and women are going to die and innocent civilians will be slaughtered! Especially when he and his vice president (had at least five deferments I'm told to keep him out of service) wave the flag! When I think of WWI and WWII and compare them to the weenie wars of Grenada and Iraq, I ask you, who was called upon to fight for our country and who led our country in these major catastrophic battles! I ask you!
So come November please, I ask my fellow Democrats, don't be lazy and stay home, my friends who are Independent, be especially independent and "throw the bums out." And then my fellow Dems, it will be up to you to fly into Washington and begin to work extra hard to clean up the crap you will see waiting for you left behind by the most inept, decrepid, stinko, phony, crooked bunch of bad guys our beloved country has ever had lead them! For the people of New Orleans and Mississippi this the Bear has to say: "No Brownie, you and your lazy boss did not due a hellova job!"

hmmm...
...Except that in this day and age TOO MANY MORONS follow the beat of OTHER drummers, and no one seems capable of thinking for his own self. They (mostly) only regurgitate what they are told by RUSHBO or Bill Maher...
I would put forth that for the first time in my life, I am truly proud of the Democrats across the board. No exceptions. No reservations. The reason and the proof-point to my pride: the massive voter registration efforts that will drive what will be the final tally.
I should thank the Republicans. This election, the GOP has done what few Democrats have accomplished to date. The GOP has galvanized Democrats. The GOP has galvanized youth. The GOP has galvanized women. The GOP has galvanized Hispanics. The GOP has galvanized African-Americans. All are turning out in droves to vote for the Democrat.
The Bear is right categorically. The GOP is slime, feeding their own coffers under an umbrella of “protection.” Isn’t that what the mob used to do?
The only thing that the GOP is good at is this: campaigning. And none of it noble. They achieve their wins through fear and division. "Elect us and you will be safe."
This time around, after eight years of fear-mongering, the non-GOP electorate has informed themselves to such a degree as to make the GOP irrelevant. The cannot smear, fear, or bring a tear to the eyes of Americans because the vast majority is now immune to their manipulations.
We are informed. We inform those who are not. We help those who are ignorant to understand that facts matter. And we will not be distracted.
Yet this does not guarantee victory. 2008 will mark a turning point for this country--up or down--for the long term. It’s put up or shut up time.
And I, a proud son of a proud Democrat, just one of many, have never been known for silence.
Well done, Bear. This is going to be one badass battle.
